Morality is evolutionary, at least in this country. It is not, but you have deceived yourselves into thinking it is. The fact is, murder will never be a thing to be encouraged because it is a principle that is always hostile to human identity. The founding fathers realized this, and crafted the Constitution as a framework rather than a set of laws, for this specific reason. This is rank confusion. The fathers understood that morality was required in order for the Constitution to work, that a natural morality was the framework on which the Constitution was built – NOT the other way around. Morality is not dictated by shifts in law. It does not evolve. People merely come to know more of it as they are increasingly enlightened. The reason the fathers did not wish for a terribly rigid Constitution is because they wished to control only a relative small region of individual rights as a means of forming a state. They understood that all rights come from the individual, who by consent grants some of them to the state for the good of all. Those specific rights and only those were to be regulated by law. As for the rest of the individual’s rights, the fathers deemed them innumerable and wished the state to be powerless. The realization of the evolutionary nature of morality is what has set this country apart from others. The reason America, my country, is now dead and become your worthless country, is because most so-called “Americans” think that by claiming morality is ever shifting, they can justify and even legislate their own sloth, greed and filth. My country was once great not because of the ridiculous and false reason you cite. It was great because it recognized the supreme authority and natural rights of the human individual. It wished to get as far out of the way of individuals as possible, to allow them to self-express to the fullest extent that nature and nature’s God allows. Taking this view, my country, not yours, unleashed the power of the individual upon history like never before, encouraging greatness and moral certitude the likes of which the world had never seen. You are now living off of the last remaining shreds of that greatness. You suffer because those shreds are practically worn away and now nature forces you to be clothed in your own morality. Of course you have none – and neither do your children. That is why you and they increasingly pervert yourselves. You are naked, defenseless, whining for Daddy Bush to do what you should have done. Now you are debt-ridden, depressed, divorced, fat, sodomitic child-murderers with little savings. This includes many who sit on those petty green notes of faith. You haven’t a clue about the adversity that is now about to test you. Here is a warning. Laugh if you must. Scoff if it pleases you to do so. You have no excuses. Your generation is about to fail the test of its time. Your grandparents nearly failed their test outright - and in many ways they did fail. Your parents failed, but survived because of the capital of your grandparents. You will collapse, within a government too burdened with debt to maintain you. You won't even have a body fit enough to sustain you on its own.

Dear kevie, you should be very greatful to Mr. Pilch. I read you idiotic posts and simply reply boy you sure post stupidity. Mr. Pilch on the other hand gives you the gift of a wonderful tutorial on how your post of just a couple of lines shows such stupidity. I just honestly tell you you are stupid but Mr. Pilch explains why and how your thinking is so idiotic and Mr. Pilch does it with such clarity. But I am quite certain stupidity as deep and wide as yours has no cure. On the other hand Mr. Pilch uses your stupidity to give others an opportunity to see it and learn. This is good.
